Start "Nightmare on ElmStreet" Post :D

From Deadline :

FRIDAY 2:15 PM: I was just told that the New Line/Warner Bros reimagining of A Nightmare On Elm Street debuted to $1.6 million from Thursday midnight shows in about 1,000 theaters. That’s way more than the previous record for a horror flick: the February 2009 rebooted Friday The 13th’s $1 million. Today, Nightmare opens in 3,332 locations and my sources tell me right now the Friday domestic grosses look like a whopping $15M to $17M. So that’s a $40+M opening weekend for sure. In all, this is the 9th in the infamous franchise (if you count number Freddy vs Jason) with Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger. (Robert Englund used to scare me so badly I couldn’t even watch the trailers.)





From Zap2it :


Still deciding if you want to see the new “A Nightmare on Elm Street” this weekend?
Word of warning: Watch this HD trailer to see if your stomach — and your heart — are strong enough to stand it. Then read our review of the film.
The film is a re-imagining of the horror icon Freddy Krueger, a serial-killer who wields a glove with four very sharp blades embedded in the fingers.
Freddie likes to kill people in their dreams, which, amazingly, causes their death in reality. Oh, it also stars “Twilight” hunk Kellan Lutz, “Melrose Place” vixen Katie Cassidy and a bunch of young hotties we aren’t familiar with yet but probably will be soon.
Frankly, after watching this trailer once, we may never sleep again.

Kellan in the MTV “must-see list” at Tribeca Film Festival

These days, it feels like every major city — and more than a few minor ones — has its own film festival. But few can approach the credibility, level of quality and star-studded pleasure of the annual Tribeca Film Festival, which once again kicks off in the heart of New York City this week. When we recently sat down for an interview with co-founder Robert De Niro, he was as excited for the new crop of films as we are.
“I’m very happy that we’ve managed to make it work and it be a success, and I’m very happy,” explained the Oscar-winning screen legend. “I hope it goes down for a long time — a lot longer than I’m around. That would be great. [I hope it becomes] part of a real tradition of New York and part of the fabric of New York.”
With that in mind, and as the fest kicks off, we’ve combed over our TFF guide and humbly present this list of the five films we’re most eager to see:
“Meskada”: For “Twilight” fans, three words explain why this movie is in such great demand: Shirtless. Kellan. Lutz. The crime drama follows an affluent town dealing with the brutal murder of a young boy, co-stars Nick Stahl and Rachel Nichols and is sure to elicit an “OME!” or two.

Samuel L. Jackson, Kellan Lutz eyeing ‘Deathgames’

Samuel L. Jackson and Kellan Lutz are in negotiations to star in “Deathgames,” an indie action movie from Motion Picture Corporation of America.
The story centers on a young man (Lutz) who is kidnapped and forced into the savage world of a modern gladiator arena, where men fight to the death for entertainment of the online masses. Jackson orchestrates the games, overseeing them from his computer lair with the help of twin ladies who see to his every desire.
Lutz, who appears in the upcoming remake of “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” next week begins shooting the Dermot Mulroney-directed romantic comedy “Keep It Together” opposite Mandy Moore. “Together” also is shooting in Louisiana, and the Innovative-repped actor will segue from that straight to “Deathsport.” In June, Lutz moves to “Immortals,” Relativity’s Greek myth fantasy in which he plays Poseidon.

MTV: Kellan Lutz Joins ‘War Of The Gods’

“Twilight” actor Kellan Lutz is the newest recruit in “War of the Gods,” the upcoming Greek mythology epic from director Tarsem Singh (“The Fall”).
Lutz has earned the role of Poseidon, the Greek god that rules over the seas, according to Variety. He joins an impressive cast list that includes Henry Cavill (“The Tudors”) as the heroic Theseus, Mickey Rourke (“Iron Man 2″) as the ruthless King Hyperion and Freida Pinto (“Slumdog Millionaire”) as Phaedra, an oracle priestess.
“War of the Gods” is a swords-and-sandals epic centered on mortal soldiers caught in a war between the eternal Greek gods and the evil Titans, with the fate of mankind hanging in the balance. Production is scheduled to begin in April based on a screenplay written by Jason Keller.

Lutz is no stranger to fantasy fare, thanks to his beloved “Twilight” role of Emmett Cullen, one of the many foster siblings of Robert Pattinson’s character. The actor was also a reported leading contender for the title role in director Marcus Nispel’s “Conan,” though he ultimately lost the part to Jason Momoa (“Stargate: Atlantis”). Lutz will next be seen in the upcoming “Nightmare on Elm Street” revival.
“War of the Gods” is the latest in a string of movies dealing with Greek mythology. Director Chris Columbus’ “Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief” debuted in February to positive reviews and solid box-office success, while Louis Leterrier’s “Clash of the Titans” remake will land in both regular and 3-D theaters on April 2.
